Tra Letteratura e Psicoanalisi: traduzione del saggio “Zapiski Sumasšedšego” Nezakončennoe Proizvedenie L. N. Tolstogo di Nikolaj Osipov

Ce travail de recherche se base sur la traduction d’un texte littéraire du russe vers l’italien. Il s’agit d’un essai du psychanalyste N. E. Osipov, intitulé « Zapiski sumasšedšego », nezakončennoe proizvedenie L. N. Tolstogo (“Les mémoires d’un fou”, œuvre inaccomplie de L. N. Tolstoï ). Cet essai est une analyse de la vie et de la maladie de l’auteur des Mémoires du point de vue psychanalytique. En effet, Osipov fut l’un des représentants plus importants du mouvement psychanalytique en Russie. C’était un psychanalyste et il est considéré comme l’un des pionniers de la psychanalyse russe. En effet, il a joué un rôle très important en faveur de la diffusion des œuvres de Freud et de la psychanalyse dans son pays. En traduisant les œuvres de Freud, il a introduit la théorie et la langue psychanalytiques en Russie, surtout, parmi les intellectuels. Ce travail de recherche se compose de trois chapitres principaux. Dans le premier, les thèmes abordés sont : la naissance et la diffusion de la psychanalyse en Russie ; la vie et les œuvres psychanalytiques et littéraires de Osipov ; l’analyse du texte Les mémoire d’un fou. A l’intérieur du deuxième chapitre, on trouve la traduction italienne du texte de Osipov susmentionné. Enfin, le troisième chapitre contient une analyse du travail de traduction, c’est-à-dire une analyse des difficultés rencontrées et des choix de traduction effectués pour les surmonter, en utilisant plusieurs moyens comme des dictionnaires, des ouvrages spécialisés, même en langue originale, et des sites internet sur le thème de la psychanalyse. Le travail a été rédigé en italien, mais il contient beaucoup de citations en langue originale (russe) des textes utilisés pour la recherche. Il en résulte un apport très important pour comprendre la diffusion de la discipline psychanalytique en Russie et le rôle important joué par le psychanalyste Osipov de ce point de vue.

Hydraulic evaluation of the gyro electric wave energy converter

Motivation Thanks for a scholarship offered by ALma Mater Studiorum I could stay in Denmark for six months during which I could do physical tests on the device Gyro PTO at the Departmet of Civil Engineering of Aalborg University. Aim The goal of my thesis is an hydraulic evaluation of the device: Gyro PTO, a gyroscopic device for conversion of mechanical energy in ocean surface waves to electrical energy. The principle of the system is the application of the gyroscopic moment of flywheels equipped on a swing float excited by waves. The laboratory activities were carried out by: Morten Kramer, Jan Olsen, Irene Guaraldi, Morten Thøtt, Nikolaj Holk. The main purpose of the tests was to investigate the power absorption performance in irregular waves, but testing also included performance measures in regular waves and simple tests to get knowledge about characteristics of the device, which could facilitate the possibility of performing numerical simulations and optimizations. Methodology To generate the waves and measure the performance of the device a workstation was created in the laboratory. The workstation consist of four computers in each of wich there was a different program. Programs have been used : Awasys6, LabView, Wave lab, Motive optitrack, Matlab, Autocad Main Results Thanks to the obtained data with the tank testing was possible to make the process of wave analisys. We obtained significant wave height and period through a script Matlab and then the values of power produced, and energy efficiency of the device for two types of waves: regular and irregular. We also got results as: physical size, weight, inertia moments, hydrostatics, eigen periods, mooring stiffness, friction, hydrodynamic coefficients etc. We obtained significant parameters related to the prototype in the laboratory after which we scale up the results obtained for two future applications: one in Nissun Brending and in the North Sea. Conclusions The main conclusion on the testing is that more focus should be put into ensuring a stable and positive power output in a variety of wave conditions. In the irregular waves the power production was negative and therefore it does not make sense to scale up the results directly. The average measured capture width in the regular waves was 0.21 m. As the device width is 0.63 m this corresponds to a capture width ratio of: 0.21/0.63 * 100 = 33 %. Let’s assume that it is possible to get the device to produce as well in irregular waves under any wave conditions, and lets further assume that the yearly absorbed energy can be converted into electricity at a PTO-efficiency of 90 %. Under all those assumptions the results in table are found, i.e. a Nissum Bredning would produce 0.87 MWh/year and a North Sea device 85 MWh/year.

Proposta di traduzione dello script di 'Viy' (2014) , di Oleg Stepcenko.

Il presente elaborato è una proposta di traduzione del film Viy (2014), diretto da Oleg Stepčenko. Il film è una rivisitazione cinematografica di un racconto di Nikolaj Vasil'evič Gogol', da cui prende il titolo. Prima di dedicarmi alla traduzione del testo, ho ritenuto opportuno documentarmi quanto più possibile sul racconto originale, i temi, il linguaggio, la contestualizzazione dell'opera nella vita dell'autore. La prima parte del mio lavoro è quindi dedicata alla presentazione del racconto originale e della raccolta da cui esso è tratto, Mirgorod (1835). Successivamente, ho voluto introdurre il film e le sue tematiche (non sempre corrispondenti al racconto); ho poi aggiunto un breve commento alla mia traduzione, enucleando i principali ostacoli incontrati nel processo traduttivo, e le soluzioni adottate; in appendice, la mia proposta di traduzione. La scelta di questo film come oggetto dell'elaborato finale è derivata da un mio particolare interesse per il cinema fantasy ; i film di questo genere sono solitamente tratti da romanzi contemporanei, mi è parso quindi singolare il caso di Viy (2014), ispirato al folle racconto di un autore sacro come Gogol'.
